This week, Lenovo unveiled its first PC on a stick called Ideacentre Stick 300. This Stick is designed to deliver the performance of a Windows PC and it is very small in size. This portable gadget works with HDMI compatible devices and you can plug it into TV, carry it to the office, or carry it in a suitcase during your trips.

Portability is the main idea behind the development of this PC on a Stick. Jun Ouyang (Vice President & General Manager of Worldwide Desktop and Visuals at Lenovo) said in a statement: ‘We have looked at the computing needs of travelers, business people and families, and realized that a truly portable and affordable solution would be a significant benefit to users of all kinds’. This powerful Stick can transform almost any HDMI compatible TV or monitor into a functioning Windows based PC.
